Olympia Schreibmaschine Mittelgroß

Olympia SM3 on The Filthy Platen

It's a bit tricky to photograph a black non-glossy typewriter and not have it look like a grey.

Typed on my new stealth (well, minus the chrome) Olympia SM2.

Underwood and the Golden Touch

1958 Underwood Quiet Tab Ace DC2939927

I will now be adding a simple grading scale to all my posts about new typewriters. It will judge the touch, print quality, aesthetics, and condition of my example. It will be on a 1-6 scale with 6 being nearly unattainable perfection. My Underwood does suffer on the print quality scale, unfortunately.
[EDIT: I have decided against the grading system because I was not being very accurate at all, eventually lumping all the ratings around 5/6. Therefore all ratings are deleted.]
